DMR GUTTERS - Key Persons
Working as a licensed contractor I (David Rich) have done most of the work personally over the last 29 years+. Not having subordinates to do all the work, like most contractors. My reputation for quality work is far too important to let it fall to a greater production volume, so my work tends to be a lot slower than most other Gutter Contractors. I often will suggest improvements that other contractors are not willing to do any any price. It typically takes me 2 weeks to do what other gutter contractors will crack out in a single day. I would like to think that this detail alone makes DMR well worth the wait, but that is certainly your call. You'll only get the effort of what was put into any project.

Most Gutter Contractors will only follow the minimum Building Code of just 1 nail every 4 feet. Building Code was not meant to be used as an instruction manual of how things are to be built. It is the lowest standards Licensed Contractors are allowed to get away with. When working on any project it tells a story. We see evidence of how what was done clearly had not been good enough to last. It is suppose to be our duty to find a solution to those failures we find when replacing anything on your home. But this does not seem to be the MO with most Contractors. Their Salesmen may talk a good hype, but I've seen all to often how they do not have their workers do as they may have promised. Oopsey.
We need to remember the old saying of how to tell when a Salesman is lying: 'you can see their lips moving'. From the other side as a Subcontractor that's what I've seen in most every case, so I don't work for GC's (General Contractors) any more. When they talk to you they may act like they care, but from the other side of this we see their only interest is to skate the line of a one year minimum warranty to save every dime they possible can. GC's hate working with me, since I am not ethnic enough to fane I speak no English, so I have been told I must not speak to their clients at all, since it would conflict with the BS their Saleman had told them. I have yet to meet a GC that can be trusted.
This was the most impressive restoration I've ever seen. He said my bid was $14k less than a competing Gutter Contractor.
